Art contest

I received this from a support group that I belong to. It says anyone may enter and I thought perhaps some of your children would be interested. I was asked to forward this to anyone whom I thought would be interested and I invite you to do the same. Here is the message in its entirety.

Please forward this contest information to anyone you think may be interested.

Purpose: Create a picture to appear on the cover of a novel.

Description: "An Underground Cry" is a novel aimed at 4th through 6th graders.
It is fiction with Christian themes.  The lead character, Carolyn, is a young
girl who discovers a family living underground.  She befriends a girl named
Martad who has a hunger for God, but only a very vague memory of some stories of
Jesus.  Martad has always lived underground.  From her limited understanding of
Jesus she has painted a picture of Jesus dying on a tree.  She has never
actually seen a tree, and has only imagined one from the roots she has seen.
The book describes the picture like this: "It looked as if it had been done with
watercolors.  It pictured a man frowning.  He looked like he was in pain.  He
was standing against something that looked like the trunk of an upside down tree
with no leaves.  The background of the picture was black.  It was in a gray
metal frame.  Carolyn didn’t think it was a very pretty picture."
The artwork for this contest should depict Carolyn and Martad, both elementary
age in Martad's bedroom talking, with Martad's picture on the wall in the
background.  Carolyn is younger but taller than Martad.  Martad, having lived
underground, is quite pale.  They are both wearing loose fitting, light-brown,
shirts and pants.  The room has a stone floor and a small bed with a golden
headboard. The bed may, but need not be included in the artwork.
The winning artwork will appear on the book's cover.

Guidelines: Each entry must be original artwork by the submitter and should be a
color picture submitted electronically as a JPG, GIF or PNG file of at least
300dpi in RGB color mode.  Submit to pwrichs@peoplepc.com

Prize: $100 plus four signed copies of the finished book.  Only one winning
entry will be used.  The winning entry will be selected by the book's author.

Eligibility: Anyone is eligible to enter, but contest information has only been
sent to home school support groups in the state of Washington.

Deadline: Entries must be submitted by February 17, 2006.

If you have questions or would like more information, contact Rich Sexton at
pwrichs@peoplepc.com

I went to leave a comment on your bread recipe and it took me to the HSB home page! The bread recipe made me hungry, by the way. :)

I'm letting all my blogging pals know that I'm having a little contest over on my blog, just for fun! So, come on over and check it out!

Blessings!
